commanders are looking to hand over control of this operation as soon as possible. >> president obama says, while moammar gadhafi needs to go, the libyan leader is not the target of the air strikes. emily schmidt begins our coverage this morning in washington. good morning, emily. >> reporter: rob and peggy, good morning to you. moammar gadhafi has kept an uncharacteristically low profile the past couple of days. no signs of him amidst all the signs of an expanding no-fly zone. for yet another day, coalition forces are targeting libya. a no-fly zone is in place over the eastern part of the country. now, the focus is expanding that zone, toward the gadhafi-controlled capital of tripoli. though, the u.s. says gadhafi is not a target. >> i don't know much about the location of the libyan leader. nor have we expended any military efforts in that regard. >> reporter: instead, the efforts have focused on eliminating air defenses.

president obama, at an official visit in chile, says the international community rallied together to stop potential atrocities. >> democracy can't be imposed from the outside. it must spring from within from the hearts and souls of those who seek it and are willing to work for it. >> reporter: libyan rebels, chanting god is great, have been energized by the international strikes. but in tripoli, where checkpoints are tight, and journalists work under the supervision of the libyan government, gadhafi supporters criticize the no-fly zone enforcement. >> we are freedom in this country. we don't want to kill. >> reporter: president obama says the u.s. aims to hand over control of this military operation, in a matter of days, not weeks. though, at this point, it's not exactly clear who is going to take over next. rob and peggy? >> emily, any idea this morning about when the u.s. will begin to pull back a little bit, in terms of how involved it is in this operation? >> reporter: all we know at this point is they're saying a matter of days, not weeks.

that's the official answer. we do have a few more details that came from general ham in that briefing yesterday. he said half of sunday's 60 air sorties were led by u.s. flights. yesterday, more sorties, 70 or 80 in all. more than half of those flights were from non-u.s. aircraft. there are signs of the complications of the international effort, whether nato is going to actually take charge. yesterday, we saw norway pull back some fighter aircraft. also, italy indicated that it may pull back on its offer to offer air bases countries that are enforcing this no-fly zone enforcement. here in washington, some members of both political parties are criticizing the obama administration, saying they want more details about the u.s. plans for this mission in libya. rob and peggy? >> very interesting. all right. emily schmidt, live in washington. thank you. despite the u.s.-led military strikes, rebel forces are still having a hard time getting organized and equipped. >> abc's alex marquardt spoke to

some rebel leaders in the eastern city of benghazi. >> reporter: the rebels display a trophy of their new might, one of gadhafi's tanks, thanks to help from coalition fighters above. the u.s. and 21 other countries are backing these rebels. but how much do we actually know about them? leading the fight against gadhafi is a man who worked with him for decades. head of his feared interior ministry, general abdul fatah younis. in that role, his job was to enforce loyalty to gadhafi. he told us he stepped down because gadhafi had gone too far, killing protesters. then, there are the rebel political leaders. what do they want? you understand there's a lot of apprehension in the united states. the government feels like they don't know you very well. we really do understand american fears, he said. assuring us, they want democracy, with political

parties, a new constitution and elections. as these rebels march on in their quest to oust gadhafi, little denying that the u.s. has thrown its significant military weight, behind a disjointed group they're still getting to know. alex marquardt, abc news, benghazi, in eastern libya. four "new york times" journalists have been released from captivity in libya. wondering safely across the border in tunisia, the four begin to describe the frightening details of their capture, including threats of decapitation. the only woman, lynsey addario, recalled one man repeatedly stroking her head while saying, quote, you're going to die tonight. our coverage continues today on "good morning america," at a look at where and how gadhafi and now hiding. now, to japan, where the delicate work of restoring power to that crippled nuclear facility the moving forward. this morning, the power was turned back on at a third reactor. water is also being dous two others. getting the power turned back on to all six of the units is key
